SENSE - 428-430 Gillott Road

Sense – Gillott Road operates as two separate units across two houses, providing accommodation and care for people with sensory impairments and learning disabilities. At the time of inspection, the home was fully occupied by eight long-term residents. The accommodation is spread over ground and first floors, with shared access to communal rooms and bathrooms across both units.

Inspectors found that despite the service not originally being developed in line with best practice guidance around choice and independence, people were given meaningful choices and their independence was being actively encouraged. The home supported residents' participation within the local community, enabling them to live as ordinary a life as possible as citizens.
